Executive Summary 



Using prior published reports and the NatureServe 
web site as starting points, we compiled a list of 29 
snail taxa within the U.S. Forest Service Northern 
Region (Region 1) area ranked in 2005 as G1-G3 
or T1-T3, thereby meeting USFS Species of 
Concern (SOC) criteria, and two additional G5 snail 
taxa ranked S1-S2, thereby meeting USFS Species 
of Interest (SOI) criteria. We also compiled a list 
of eight slug taxa ranked in 2005 as G1-G3, and 
three additional slug taxa ranked G4-G5 but S 1-S2, 
again meeting the respective USFS criteria for 
SOC or SOI. 

We conducted a total of 108 site surveys in 2005 
targeting areas lacking previous information on 
terrestrial mollusks. These were distributed on the 
Montana Forests as follows: Beaverhead- 
Deerlodge (13), Bitterroot (0), Custer (8), Flathead 
(9), Gallatin (17), Helena (13), Kootenai (5), Lewis 
& Clark (19), Lolo (1). We distributed surveys on 
the Idaho Forests as follows: Clearwater (11), 
Idaho Panhandle (4), Nez Perce (8). 

We documented 83 new locations for ten SOC taxa 
and three SOI taxa during our 2005 surveys: 
Selway Forestsnail Allogona lombardii (3 sites), 
Nimapuna Tigersnail Anguispira nimapuna (4 
sites), Striate Disc Discus shimeki (1 site), Berry's 
Mountainsnail Oreohelix strigosa berryi (6 sites), 
Robust Lancetooth Haplotrema vancouverense (4 
sites), Humped Coin Polygyrella polygyrella (6 
sites), Fir Pinwheel Radiodiscus abietum (16 
sites), Pale Jumping-slug Hemphillia camelus (9 
sites), Pygmy Slug Kootenaia burkei (6 sites), 
Reticulate Taildropper Prophysaon andersoni (1 
site), Smoky Taildropper Prophysaon humile (16 
sites), Lyre Mantleslug Udosarx lyrata (2 sites), 



and Sheathed Slug Zacoleus idahoensis (9 sites). 
Most locations are from west of the Continental 
Divide in mesic forest habitats (e.g., western 
redcedar, western hemlock, mesic Douglas-fir, 
grand fir). 

Two SOC and one SOI slug species, all discovered 
on the Kootenai National Forest, are new to the 
known mollusk fauna of Montana: Pale Jumping- 
slug, Pygmy Slug, and Reticulate Taildropper. The 
2005 survey added seven new Montana locations 
and nine new Idaho locations for a third SOC slug 
species, Smoky Taildropper, which was 
documented in Montana only once prior to 2004. 
As a result of the 2005 surveys, Global Ranks 
shifted downward for five species (Humped Coin, 
Fir Pinwheel, Pale Jumping-slug, Pygmy Slug, and 
Smoky Taildropper). We also collected distribution 
data on 21 additional non-SOC species as we 
encountered them during our surveys. 

At least some SOI G4-G5 taxa found during our 
2005 surveys may prove to be distinct from related 
coastal populations, as their disjunct distributions 
are similar to some vertebrate amphibian taxa (e.g., 
Dicamptodon, Ascaphus, Plethodon) now split 
into coastal and Rocky Mountain sister species. 
Therefore, we think it desirable to conduct genetic 
analyses of several mollusk SOC and SOI taxa to 
determine it they represent forms that merit full 
species status. Additional inventory is also 
desirable to fill remaining distribution gaps, describe 
habitat associations thoroughly enough to develop 
predictive distribution models, and lay the 
foundation for developing a long-term monitoring 
scheme and standardized survey methodology. 



Acknowledgements 

Fred Samson (USFS) recognized the need to 
address invertebrates in the Forest planning 
process, appreciating the extremely limited 
information available for management decision- 
making, and promoted the project through the 
USFS Regional Inventory and Monitoring (RIM) 
program. Henning Stabins (Plum Creek Timber 
Company) and the Amphibian Inventory Project 
provided us with additional records of SOC mollusk 
species that helped fill significant gaps in 
distributions. Bill Bosworth, zoologist with the 
Idaho Conservation Data Center, provided the 
Montana Natural Heritage Program (MTNHP) 



with location data on SOC species tracked in the 
Idaho portions of the Northern Region; the Idaho 
records were especially critical for the production 
of new distribution maps, and fleshing out 
distributions of rare land mollusk species that occur 
on both sides of the Idaho-Montana border. Bill 
Leonard (Olympia, WA) and Tim Pearce (Carnegie 
Museum of Natural History) verified our tentative 
SOC and SOI slug identifications. Matthew Gates 
assisted with field surveys. Coburn Currier 
(MTNHP) assisted on some surveys and formatted 
and printed this report. We thank them all.

Introduction 



Within and adjacent to the landscape bounded by 
the Northern Region are a large number of land 
mollusk species that are endemic to the Northern 
Rocky Mountains, and several additional species 
are restricted to the Pacific Northwest, with 
disjunct populations in northern Idaho and 
northwestern Montana (Frest and Johannes 1995, 
1997, 2001; Hendricks 2003). Parts of the survey 
area, especially portions of the Lower Salmon 
River drainage, were recognized relatively early as 
centers of mollusk endemism, and drew attention of 
several early collectors (Frest and Johannes 1997). 
Nevertheless, many areas in Idaho as well as 
Montana were never visited or remain poorly 
inventoried, as demonstrated by the recent 
discovery of a new slug genus in northern Idaho 
(Leonard et al. 2003). Limited survey of the region 
is partly a result of timing. When much pioneering 
collecting of the terrestrial mollusk fauna was 
undertaken, roughly 1860-1950, many portions of 
the survey area were difficult to reach without 
significant commitment of time and resources. 
During the mid and late 20 th century, when road 



access across the study area increased 
dramatically, far fewer malacologists were resident 
or active in the region. Only recently has there 
been recognition by biologists that many mollusk 
species in the region are threatened with a variety 
of potentially detrimental land use activities, 
prompting renewed inventories. 

The FS is required under the National Forest 
Management Act (1976) and Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR 1985) to maintain a diversity of 
plant and animal species. Inventory is a first step 
in the evaluation of landscapes and their likelihood 
of supporting populations of animal species of 
conservation concern. Pursuant with this 
legislation and associated regulations, the Northern 
Region initiated surveys in 2005 for a suite of land 
mollusks listed as Species of Concern in Montana 
and Idaho. Objectives of the 2005 inventory 
included filling species distribution gaps, testing 
survey methodology, and collecting geospatial and 
habitat data for the development of predictive 
habitat models that can aid future survey efforts. 



Methods 



Prior to conducting field surveys, we searched the 
published and gray literature to compile a list of 
high-priority "target" species (globally and state 
rare species in Montana, and globally rare species 
in Idaho). Primary sources we used for this 
compilation included Pilsbry (1939, 1948), Frest and 
Johannes (1995, 1997, 2001), and Hendricks 
(2003). This resulted in a list of 42 species and 
subspecies (31 snails, 11 slugs) we considered to be 



of conservation concern (Table 1); only eight of 
these taxa are ranked less than G3 (see Appendix 
A for ranks definitions). We then generated a list 
of general habitat associations for the high-priority 
species (Table 2), to help us prioritize habitats for 
survey. Limited information for mollusks east of 
the Continental Divide in Montana made this 
process more problematic for the high-priority 
species that occur or might occur in that region.

#• These low G-rank taxa may prove to be distinct from coastal populations, as their disjunct distributions are similar to 
individual vertebrate taxa (e.g. Dicamptodon, Ascaphus, Plethodon) now split into coastal and Rocky Mountain species. 
* Limestone talus associates may occur in either dry or moist sites, but are most often limestone or limestone-derived soil 
obligates 



We conducted field surveys for land mollusks 
during mid- September to early November 2005, 
when the weather was most suitable (cool and 
moist) for finding active snails and slugs. We 
attempted to visit all 12 National Forests in the 
Northern Region, so survey effort was stratified by 
Forest (sometimes by mountain range within a 
forest) and spread thinly across the inventory area 
(sites surveyed are listed in Appendix B). 
However, we spent the most time on Forests with 



the least amount of prior survey effort or 
distribution information. Forests in Idaho were an 
exception because we were not aware at the time 
of our 2005 surveys how much survey history they 
already had. 

We selected sites for surveys based primarily on 
the presence of perennial water, moist mature 
conifer forest, aspen, and/or limestone talus or 
other rock outcrops. At each site, we conducted 



timed surveys while searching under leaf litter, 
dead wood and bark, rocks imbedded in the ground, 
or digging into talus. Usually within a survey site 
we searched several locations with habitat features 
(such as bryophyte mats, dead wood and imbedded 
rocks, or talus slopes) considered by experts to be 
favored by snails and slugs, often concentrating 
searches in riparian zones. 

We recorded a variety of habitat and site 
information at each survey location on standardized 
data forms (Appendix C). Survey data have been 



entered into the Montana Natural Heritage 
Program Point Observation Database (POD); 
copies of the Idaho data have been sent to the 
Idaho Conservation Data Center (CDC) in Boise. 
We collected voucher specimens of all Species of 
Concern (SOC) that we discovered, as well as 
representatives of many other non-SOC taxa; 
vouchers were preserved in 95% ethanol in order 
to permit future genetic analyses. We sent all slug 
specimens from Idaho and Montana west of the 
Continental Divide to taxonomic experts, and their 
identifications have been verified. 



Results and Discussion 



Overview 

We conducted a total of 108 site surveys in 2005 
(Appendix B). These were distributed on the 
Montana Forests as follows: Beaverhead- 
Deerlodge (13), Bitterroot (0), Custer (8), Flathead 
(9), Gallatin (17), Helena (13), Kootenai (5), Lewis 
& Clark (19), Lolo (1). We distributed surveys on 
the Idaho Forests as follows: Clearwater (11), 
Idaho Panhandle (4), Nez Perce (8). Some 
landscapes within the survey area of the Northern 
Region were bypassed because they fell mostly 
outside U.S. Forest Service land ownership or they 
had received prior survey attention in recent years. 
Therefore, we conducted few surveys in the 
Lower Salmon River area of Idaho and none in the 
Bitterroot Mountains, Mission Mountains, and 
Swan Valley of northwestern Montana, despite 
these being areas of significant land mollusk 
endemism and with additional records of rare 
regional species (Solem 1975; Fairbanks 1984; 
Frest and Johannes 1995, 1997, 2001; Hendricks 
1998,2003). 

We documented 83 new locations for ten SOC taxa 
and three SOI taxa during our 2005 surveys (Table 
3): Selway Forestsnail Allogona lombardii (3 
sites), Nimapuna Tigersnail Anguispira nimapuna 
(4 sites), Striate Disc Discus shimeki (1 site), 



Berry's Mountainsnail Oreohelix strigosa berryi 
(6 sites), Robust Lancetooth Haplotrema 
vancouverense (4 sites), Humped Coin 
Polygyrella polygyrella (6 sites), Fir Pinwheel 
Radiodiscus abietum (16 sites), Pale Jumping-slug 
Hemphillia camelus (9 sites), Pygmy Slug 
Kootenaia burkei (6 sites), Reticulate Taildropper 
Prophysaon andersoni (1 site), Smoky 
Taildropper Prophysaon humile (16 sites), Lyre 
Mantleslug Udosarx lyrata (2 sites), and Sheathed 
Slug Zacoleus idahoensis (9 sites). Most new 
locations are from west of the Continental Divide in 
moist forest habitats (e.g., western redcedar, 
western hemlock, grand fir, mesic Douglas-fir). 
Two SOC and one SOI slug species, all discovered 
on the Kootenai National Forest, are new to the 
known mollusk fauna of Montana: Pale Jumping- 
slug, Pygmy Slug, and Reticulate Taildropper. The 
2005 survey added seven new Montana locations 
and nine new Idaho locations for a third SOC slug 
species, Smoky Taildropper, which was 
documented in Montana only once prior to 2004. 
We were most surprised by our failure to document 
any locations of Magnum Mantleslug (Magnipelta 
mycophaga) during our autumn 2005 survey, 
although several new western Montana sites were 
found during other surveys in 2004 and spring 2005 
(e.g., Appendix E; Hendricks 2005).

As a result of the 2005 surveys, global ranks 
shifted downward for five species. The Global 
Rank of Humped Coin changed from G2G3 to G3 
(see Appendix A for definitions). The Fir Pinwheel 
changed from G3 to G4, Pale Jumping-slug 
changed from G3G4 to G4. The Pygmy Slug 
changed from G1G2 to G2. The Smoky 
Taildropper changed from G2 to G3. In summary, 
the 2005 Northern Region survey made a 
significant contribution to our understanding of the 
current status of several land mollusk species of 
conservation interest. 

At least some SOI G4-G5 taxa we found during 
our 2005 surveys may prove to be distinct from 
related coastal populations, as their disjunct 
distributions are similar to some vertebrate 
amphibian taxa (e.g., Dicarnptodon, Ascaphus, 
Plethodon) now split into coastal and Rocky 
Mountain sister species. Thus, we think it desirable 
to conduct genetic analyses of several mollusk 
SOC and SOI taxa to determine if they represent 
forms that merit full species status. These will be 
identified in the species accounts that follow of 
SOC/SOI taxa encountered during the 2005 survey. 

Finally, we recorded 21 additional terrestrial 
mollusk species (including exotics) as we 
encountered them during our 2005 surveys. These 
species are not currently recognized as SOC or 
SOI, nor are they considered to merit such status, 
and will not be discussed further in this report. 
Distribution maps showing locations where we 
found these taxa are in Appendix F (native Non- 
SOC) and Appendix G (exotic species). Not 
included in Appendix F is a map showing our two 
2005 records of the Chrome Ambersnail (Catinella 
rehderi) from Carbon and Fergus counties, 
Montana. Species of Catinella are impossible to 
identify to species based on shells alone (T. Pearce 
personal communication), so our identification of 
shells from these sites remains tentative, and 
influenced by one prior Montana record from 
Meagher County (Pilsbry 1948). 

Species Accounts 

Selway Forestsnail (Allogona lombardii): We 
found this species at three Idaho sites between 
1600-3700 ft elevation, all in Idaho County 



(Appendix B and E). The Selway Forestsnail is an 
Idaho endemic known only from the Lochsa- 
Selway and Lower Salmon corridors of Idaho 
County (Smith 1943; Frest and Johannes 1997, 
2001). Canopy at the 2005 sites included grand fir, 
western hemlock, and alder; as many as 1 1 
individuals were found on or under bryophyte mats. 

Nimapuna Tigersnail (Anguispira nimapuna): We 
found this species at four Idaho sites between 
1500-2550 ft elevation, all in Idaho County 
(Appendix B and E). The Nimapuna Tigersnail is 
an Idaho endemic known only from the Clearwater, 
Lochsa, and Selway rivers drainages (Baker 1932; 
Smith 1943; Frest and Johannes 1995, 2001). 
Canopy at the 2005 sites included western 
redcedar and grand fir, with some alder, paper 
birch, Douglas-fir and/or ponderosa pine; as many 
as 10 live animals were found under wood or on 
bryophyte mats among dense ferns. 

Striate Disc {Discus shimeki): We found this 
species at one Montana site in Gallatin County, at 
5832 ft elevation (Appendix B). The Striate Disc 
has a wide distribution in western North America 
(Pilsbry 1948; Frest and Johannes 1993; Forsyth 
2004) and is ranked G5. It is a Montana SOC 
because there are less than 10 documented 
occurrences in the state (see map in Appendix E). 
Canopy at the 2005 site included Douglas-fir and 
subalpine fir; two shells were present on a 
bryophyte mat. 

Robust Lancetooth (Haplotrema vancouverense): 
We found this species at four Idaho sites between 
2100-3350 ft elevation, in Bonner, Clearwater, and 
Shoshone counties (Appendix B and E). The 
Robust Lancetooth has a wide distribution in the 
Pacific Coast states and British Columbia (Forsyth 
2004) and is ranked G5. It is a new Montana SOC 
because of only two historical records from 
Sanders County (Brunson and Osher 1957) and no 
new records in recent years. Frest and Johannes 
(2001) listed the Robust Lancetooth as rare and 
only from northern Idaho. Populations in northern 
Idaho and northwestern Montana appear disjunct 
from the main coastal range, and should be 
examined genetically to determine if they actually 
are sister species. Canopy at the 2005 sites 



included western redcedar, grand fir, western 
hemlock, alder, or paper birch; live individuals and 
shells were found under wood or bryophyte mats. 

Berry's Mountainsnail (Oreohelix strigosa 
berry i): We found this subspecies at six sites in 
central Montana between 4250-6400 ft elevation, in 
Broadwater, Carbon, Fergus, and Meagher 
counties (Appendix B and E). Berry's 
Mountainsnail is a narrowly distributed subspecies, 
largely restricted to central Montana and the Black 
Hills (Frest and Johannes 1993), of a species that is 
found throughout western North America (Pilsbry 
1939; Forsyth 2004). It is most abundant in the 
island mountain ranges of central Montana, 
especially the Big Snowy Mountains (Berry 1916). 
Canopy at the 2005 sites included aspen, Douglas- 
fir, Engelmann spruce, subalpine fir, cottonwood 
and maple. Few live animals were found, but 
hundreds of shells were scattered on and under 
limestone talus and soil, bryophyte mats, and leaf 
litter. 

Humped Coin {Polygyrella polygyrella): We 
found this species at six Idaho sites between 1500- 
3600 ft elevation, in Clearwater and Idaho counties 
(Appendix B and E). The Humped Coin, first 
described from Montana and Idaho by Bland and 
Cooper (1861) and Cooper (1868), is also present 
in adjacent Washington and Oregon (Frest and 
Johannes 1995, 2001). In 2005, we found this 
species only in the Clearwater and Lochsa river 
drainages, but it is present farther north in Idaho, 
and all known Montana sites are clustered in 
Sanders and Mineral counties (Hendricks 2003, 
2005). Canopy at the 2005 sites included western 
redcedar, western hemlock, grand fir, alder, black 
cottonwood, and mountain maple. Live animals 
were found at all sites, with as many as 44 found 
on ferns and bryophyte mats. 

Fir Pinwheel (Radiodiscus abietum): We found 
this species at 11 Idaho sites between 1500-5500 ft 
elevation, in Bonner, Clearwater, Idaho, and 
Shoshone counties, and at five sites in Montana 
between 2200-3450 ft elevation, in Flathead, 
Lincoln, and Sanders counties (Appendix B and E). 
The Fir Pinwheel is restricted to northern Idaho, 
western Montana, and adjacent parts of Oregon 



and Washington (Brunson and Russell 1967; Frest 
and Johannes 1995, 2001; Hendricks 2003, 2005). 
Canopy at the 2005 sites included western 
redcedar, grand fir, Douglas-fir, western hemlock, 
subalpine fir, alder, water birch, cottonwood, 
western larch, and Pacific yew. Up to 11 live 
individuals were present at 15 sites where they 
were detected, mostly under downed wood, but 
also rocks and bryophyte mats. At the remaining 
site only a single shell was detected. 

Pale Jumping- slug (Hemphillia camelus): We 
found this species at eight Idaho sites between 
1600-5 100 ft elevation, in Clearwater, Idaho, and 
Shoshone counties, and at one site in Montana at 
2840 ft elevation, in Lincoln County (Appendix B 
and E). This is the first Montana record for this 
species (Frest and Johannes 1995; Hendricks 2003) 
(see Appendix E; Pilsbry 1948; Hendricks 2003). 
The Pale Jumping-slug appears to be restricted to 
northern Idaho, and adjacent parts of Washington, 
British Columbia, Alberta, and now Montana (Frest 
and Johannes 1995, 2001; Forsyth 2004). Frest and 
Johannes (1997, 2001) suggested that individuals 
from the Lower Salmon River drainage might 
represent a taxon distinct from that to the north, but 
this possibility has not been resolved. Canopy at 
the 2005 sites included western redcedar, grand fir, 
subalpine fir, Engelmann spruce, western hemlock, 
Pacific yew, alder, and birch. Up to six individuals 
were found on and under downed wood, and on 
bryophyte mats among ferns and dogwood. 

Pygmy Slug (Kootenaia burkei): We found this 
species at two Idaho sites between 2600-2700 ft 
elevation, in Bonner and Boundary counties, and at 
four sites in Montana between 2200-2850 ft 
elevation, in Lincoln and Sanders counties 
(Appendix B and E). These are the first Montana 
records for this species, and more than double the 
number of total known localities. Only recently 
was this species described from animals discovered 
at five Idaho sites. (Leonard et al. 2003). Canopy 
at the 2005 sites included western redcedar, 
western hemlock, grand fir, Pacific yew, Douglas- 
fir, paper birch, alder, black cottonwood, western 
larch, and western white pine. Up to four 
individuals were found on and under downed wood 
and bark among leaf litter, and on bryophyte mats. 



Reticulate Taildropper {Prophysaon andersoni): 
We found this species at one site in Montana at 
2200 ft elevation, in Sanders County (Appendix B 
and E). This is the first Montana record for this 
species. It has rarely been found in northern Idaho 
(B. Leonard personal communication), and Frest 
and Johannes (2001) thought it might not be present 
at all in northern Idaho, despite the tentative 
records of Smith (1943). This species is 
widespread in coastal British Columbia, 
Washington, Oregon, and northern California 
(Forsyth 2004). Populations in northern Idaho and 
northwestern Montana appear disjunct from the 
main coastal range, and should be examined 
genetically to determine if they actually are sister 
species. Idaho populations of the congeneric Blue- 
gray Taildropper (P. coeruleum) and Papillose 
Taildropper (P. dubium) also appear disjunct from 
the coastal populations (Leonard et al. 2003; 
Ovaska et al. 2004), and these too deserve genetic 
comparison to determine their species status; both 
species are currently ranked G4, and the Reticulate 
Taildropper is ranked G5 (Table 1). Canopy at the 
2005 site included western redcedar, grand fir, 
black cottonwood, paper birch, and Pacific yew. 
Two individuals were found under downed wood. 

Smoky Taildropper {Prophysaon humile): We 
found this species at nine sites in Idaho between 
1500-4250 ft elevation, in Bonner, Clearwater, and 
Idaho counties, and at seven sites in Montana 
between 2800-4150 ft elevation, in Flathead, 
Lincoln, and Missoula counties (Appendix B and 
E). This species is known only from northern 
Idaho and adjacent northwestern Montana (Pilsbry 



1948; Frest and Johannes 1995, 2001; Hendricks 
2005). Canopy at the 2005 sites included western 
redcedar, grand fir, Douglas-fir, Engelmann spruce, 
subalpine fir, lodgepole pine, western hemlock, 
alder, paper birch, and cottonwood. Up to nine 
individuals were found mostly under downed wood, 
bryophyte mats, or rocks. 

Lyre Mantleslug (Udosarx lyrata): We found this 
species at two Idaho sites between 2100-3600 ft 
elevation, in Clearwater and Idaho counties 
(Appendix B and E). This species is restricted to 
northern Idaho and adjacent parts of western 
Montana (Webb 1959; Russell and Webb 1980; 
Frest and Johannes 1995, 2001; Hendricks 2003). 
Two subspecies are described, but we are unable 
to distinguish these and assign our records only to 
the species level. Canopy at the 2005 sites 
included western redcedar, grand fir, and alder. Up 
to four individuals were found under downed wood 
and wet bark. 

Sheathed Slug (Zacoleus idahoensis): We found 
this species at nine Idaho sites between 2000-5500 
ft elevation, in Bonner, Clearwater, and Idaho 
counties (Appendix B and E). This species is 
restricted to northern Idaho and adjacent 
northwestern Montana (Pilsbry 1948; Frest and 
Johannes 1995, 2001; Hendricks 2003). Canopy at 
the 2005 sites included western redcedar, grand fir, 
western hemlock, Douglas-fir, Engelmann spruce, 
subalpine fir, alder, and paper birch. Up to 1 1 
individuals were found under wet downed wood or 
on bryophyte mats. 



Conclusions and Recommendations 



The number of new locations we discovered in 
2005 for land mollusk species of conservation 
concern in the USFS Northern Region area 
underscores our conclusion that current knowledge 
of the distribution, ecology, and status of this suite 
of species is woefully inadequate and largely 
fragmentary. We think at least one additional year 
of non-random surveys, similar to those of 2005, is 
needed to fill distribution gaps and gather additional 
habitat information. We also feel that a minimum 
of two additional years of random site surveys 
(beyond the one of non-random surveys) are 
needed in order to fully document species 
distributions and habitat associations and to 
determine site occupancy rates, while addressing 
detection probabilities. This will provide a measure 
of status in various habitats. Developing predictive 
habitat models may also prove useful for some 
species groups, especially those associated with the 
moist forest types mentioned earlier. Recent 
examples of the use of predictive models for 
conservation management of rare terrestrial 
mollusks in the Pacific Northwest are Dunk et al. 
(2004) and Gaines et al. (2005). 

Other recommendations include the following: (1) 
Survey and modeling efforts should be coordinated 
with the Idaho CDC, as well as MTNHP, as the 
Idaho CDC expertise with the Idaho land mollusk 



fauna exceeds ours; (2) There is a need for genetic 
studies to inform current taxonomy of some 
species. We think some taxa currently considered 
conspecific with coastal populations (e.g., Robust 
Lancetooth, Reticulate Taildropper, Blue-gray 
Taildropper, and Papillose Taildropper) may prove 
to be distinct sister species (see discussions in 
Leonard et al. 2003, Ovaska et al. 2004), similar to 
the results of recent genetic studies of some 
Pacific Northwest amphibian genera (e.g., 
Ascaphus, Dicarnptodon, Plethodon); (3) Finally, 
we think it would be useful to conduct some 
workshops on land mollusk identification and 
management. This will heighten awareness of this 
overlooked and poorly understood group of animals, 
and provide biologists and managers some of the 
basic tools they need to make informed 
management decisions. 

Besides producing this summary document for the 
2005 inventory, we anticipate developing an 
illustrated field guide and/or poster that will aid 
District Biologists in future survey work they 
conduct targeting SOC and SOI land mollusks; 
similar information and illustrations for Montana 
species will be made available in the near future in 
the Montana Natural Heritage Program on-line 
Animal Field Guide.

Appendix A. Global/State Rank Definitions 



Heritage Program Ranks 

The international network of Natural Heritage Programs employs a standardized ranking system to denote 
global (range-wide) and state status. Species are assigned numeric ranks ranging from 1 to 5, reflecting 
the relative degree to which they are "at-risk". Rank definitions are given below. A number of factors are 
considered in assigning ranks — the number, size and distribution of known "occurrences" or populations, 
population trends (if known), habitat sensitivity, and threat. Factors in a species' life history that make it 
especially vulnerable are also considered (e.g., dependence on a specific pollinator). 

Global Rank Definitions (NatureServe 2003) 

G 1 Critically imperiled because of extreme rarity and/or other factors making it highly 

vulnerable to extinction 
G2 Imperiled because of rarity and/or other factors making it vulnerable to extinction 

G3 Vulnerable because of rarity or restricted range and/or other factors, even though it may 

be abundant at some of its locations 
G4 Apparently secure, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the 

periphery 
G5 Demonstrably secure, though it may be quite rare in parts of its range, especially at the 

periphery 
Tl-5 Infraspecific Taxon (trinomial) — The status of infraspecific taxa (subspecies or 

varieties) are indicated by a "T-rank" following the species' global rank 

State Rank Definitions 

51 At high risk because of extremely limited and potentially declining numbers, 
extent and/or habitat, making it highly vulnerable to extirpation in the state 

52 At risk because of very limited and potentially declining numbers, extent and/or 
habitat, making it vulnerable to extirpation in the state 

53 Potentially at risk because of limited and potentially declining numbers, extent 
and/or habitat, even though it may be abundant in some areas 

54 Uncommon but not rare (although it may be rare in parts of its range), and usually 
widespread. Apparently not vulnerable in most of its range, but possibly cause for 
long-term concern 

55 Common, widespread, and abundant (although it may be rare in parts of its 
range). Not vulnerable in most of its range 

Combination Ranks 

G#G# or S#S# Range Rank — A numeric range rank (e.g., G2G3) used to indicate uncertainty about 
the exact status of a taxon 

Qualifiers 

NR Not ranked 

Q Questionable taxonomy that may reduce conservation priority — Distinctiveness of 

this entity as a taxon at the current level is questionable; resolution of this uncertainty may 
result in change from a species to a subspecies or hybrid, or inclusion of this taxon in 
another taxon, with the resulting taxon having a lower-priority (numerically higher) 
conservation status rank 



Appendix A - 1 



X Presumed Extinct — Species believed to be extinct throughout its range. Not located 

despite intensive searches of historical sites and other appropriate habitat, and virtually no 
likelihood that it will be rediscovered 

H Possibly Extinct — Species known from only historical occurrences, but may neverthe- 

less still be extant; further searching needed 

U Unrankable — Species currently unrankable due to lack of information or due to substan- 

tially conflicting information about status or trends 

HYB Hybrid — Entity not ranked because it represents an interspecific hybrid and not a species 

? Inexact Numeric Rank — Denotes inexact numeric rank 

C Captive or Cultivated Only — Species at present is extant only in captivity or cultivation, 

or as a reintroduced population not yet established 

A Accidental — Species is accidental or casual in Montana, in other words, infrequent and 

outside usual range. Includes species (usually birds or butterflies) recorded once or only a 
few times at a location. A few of these species may have bred on the one or two occa- 
sions they were recorded 

Z Zero Occurrences — Species is present but lacking practical conservation concern in 

Montana because there are no definable occurrences, although the taxon is native and 
appears regularly in Montana 

P Potential — Potential that species occurs in Montana but no extant or historic occurrences 

are accepted 

R Reported — Species reported in Montana but without a basis for either accepting or 

rejecting the report, or the report not yet reviewed locally. Some of these are very recent 
discoveries for which the program has not yet received first-hand information; others are 
old, obscure reports 

SYN Synonym — Species reported as occurring in Montana, but the Montana Natural Heritage 

Program does not recognize the taxon; therefore the species is not assigned a rank 

* A rank has been assigned and is under review. Contact the Montana Natural Heritage 

Program for assigned rank 

B Breeding — Rank refers to the breeding population of the species in Montana 

N Nonbreeding — Rank refers to the non-breeding population of the species in Montana

Site No: Identify three digit number of the site being surveyed within each sampling block (range 001-999). 

Locality: Describe the specific geographic location of the site so that the type of site is described and the straight-line air 

distance from one or more permanent features on a 7.5-minute (1 :24,000 scale) topographic map records the position of the site 

(e.g., Large talus slope 1.5 miles north of Engle Peak, N side of FS Road 225). 

State: Use the two-letter abbreviation. 

County: Use the full county name. 

Map Name: List the name of the USGS 7.5-minute (1 :24,000 scale) topographic quadrangle map. 

T: Record the Township number and whether it is north or south. 

R: Record the Range number and whether it is east or west. 

S: Record the Section number 

Section Description: Describe location of the site at the l A of l A section level (e.g., SENE indicates SE corner of NE corner). 

Owner: Use abbreviation of the government agency responsible for managing the land you surveyed, (e.g. USFS, BLM). If 

private land was surveyed list the owner's full name to indicate that you did not trespass. 

Map Elevation: The elevation of the site as indicated by the topographic map in feet (avoid using elevations from a GPS) 

Datum: The map datum used (typically NAD 27 if off topographic map or WGS84 if off GPS unit on standard setting). 

UTM Zone: Universal Transverse Mercator zone recorded on the topographic map. 

UTM East: Universal Transverse Mercator easting coordinate in meters as recorded on the topographic map or GPS receiver.

Survey Information 

Date: Use MM-DD-YY format (e.g. 05/12/00 for May 12 of 2000). 

Observers: List names or initials of individuals involved with survey of this site and circle the name of the recorder. 

Begin Time: List the time the survey began in 24-hour format. 

End Time: List the time the survey ended in 24-hour format. 

Total Person Minutes of Search: Record the total person minutes the site was searched (e.g. if one person surveys for 15 

minutes and another surveys for 30 minutes, but takes 5 minutes to measure a specimen the total person minutes is 40 minutes). 

Area (M 2 ) Searched: Area in square meters that was surveyed. 

Percent of Site Searched: Circle the appropriate category. 

Percent Slope: Percent slope of site. Enter range if variable. 

Aspect: Circle primary aspect of the site. 

Habitat Type: Circle the appropriate habitat type. 

Primary Canopy Species: List the major plant species in the canopy (e.g., red cedar, western hemlock, grand fir, ninebark) 

Overall Percent Canopy Cover: Circle the appropriate category for total canopy cover. 

Canopy Species Average DBH: Circle the appropriate category. 

Photo Frame Number(s) / Descriptions: The number of the photo as viewed on the camera's view screen and a description of 

the contents of the photograph (e.g., #13 = 1 x Oreohelix strigosa and #14-18 = 5 x habitat). Take photos of all portions of the 

site and anything else that may be of interest (e.g., millipedes, potential site threats). 

Weather: Circle weather condition during survey. 

Air Temp: Record air temperature in °C at chest height in the shade. °C = (°F - 32)/1.8 

Soil Temp: Record soil temperature in °C at 10 cm depth. °C = (°F - 32)/1.8 

Soil Moisture: Circle the appropriate category. 

Rock Type: Circle the appropriate category; note specific type if known. 

Habitat Threats: Note impacts from grazing, logging, mining, flooding, road building, weeds, fire, etc. 

Species Information 

For each species, record the genus name and species, if known. If species cannot be identified in the field, place a 

brief description of their morphology here. Record the number alive and dead, and size range for individuals 

encountered, and time at first detection for the first individual encountered (e.g., 2x15 mm diameter (shells) or TL = 

80-90mm (slugs): @ 10 minutes). Record the tissue number or range of tissue numbers for tissue samples collected 

(see tissue collection protocols). Record the preliminary museum voucher specimen number and description for 

voucher specimens collected (see voucher specimen collection protocols). Circle the substrate the animal was 

associated with at time of detection. Record the presence of other species detected at the site (e.g., millipedes), the 

time at first detection, and the voucher number and description of animals collected (see voucher and tissue collection 

Protocols). AppendixC-4
